Summary

This chapter reviewed advanced collection, separation, and identification techniques for microplastics in environmental samples, covering methods from field sampling to spectroscopic analysis. Robust detection methodology is foundational to the entire field—without standardized, accurate measurement tools, it is impossible to reliably assess human exposure levels or evaluate the effectiveness of remediation strategies.

The pervasive use of plastics has transformed modern life, but plastic pollution poses significant environmental challenges, mainly through microplastics (MPs). This chapter discusses advanced techniques for collecting, separating, and identifying microplastics in...
